I'm going to miss the Warden as much as the next person. And I still think that Morrigan is the best video game Anti-Heroine of all times. But I'm not gonna let her and the Warden disappearing in a mirror make me bitter towards the rest of Dragon Age. DOA was great so I have faith that BW won't disappoint with DA2. Now as far as being attached to Warden/Morrigan, I can only hope that their story was left as a long **** To Be Continued... and if not well I at least have the OGB to look foward to.

No

The Warden wasn't really a character, he was just an avatar for me into the game world, so I felt no emotional attachment to him whatsoever

Hah, I'm no nerd, I'm not like you. I don't talk outload when you choose the Warden's line

Well, if I managed to get over Revan, I'll surely get over the Warden as well.

You got over Revan? Traitor 

You know what? I didn't. hehe I was just trying to fool myself. To no avail, though.

In all honesty I thought that Kotor (the series) has extremely crappy characterization to the point of being stupid... But that's just my opinion. After buying KOTOR2 (love of SW franchise) I had to give it up halfway through, as the gameplay also sucked bigtime... DA had a comparitively better gameplay, way better story and nice characterization.

I decided to kill you with fire, mister.

Now, I am not attached to any one of the characters as much as I want to finish the story.... The story of Morrigan was supposed to give us some new info in Witch-hunt (according to the adverts) but instead it simply created new problems/questions.... This seems to me as simply poor, hasty and shoddy business strategy to wriggle some easy money from Morrigan fans...

This I have no experience with. At present I have no Wardens handy who accepted Morrigan's ritual, so I'm redoing Aedan. My Kallian had sacrificed herself, and I understand Morrigan being upset and tight-lipped (self-sedating fanboy syndrome here). But if she keeps it vague to Aedan as well, she's getting a stab to the kidney.

@ OP: No. Not really.

I do find myself wishing that DA:O's characters and story had been a part of the game that DA2 looks like its becoming, though. I'd have preferred a very deep focus on a single origin and a voiced protagonist in the first game.

Shock! Horror! I know.

But, yeah, for srs. Origins had too many origins to give them their due, IMO.

Hmm...



I will say that I found Witch Hunt very disappointing, especially in light of how excellent Lair of the Shadow Broker was.



It was just not a fitting send off for my Warden. While I understand that it might have been a little tough to program something with enough options (like all of the original DA:O characters) since for some the assets would never be used due to characters dying or leaving, I think the effort should have been made.



Rather than whom we were stuck with, I would have liked to have had one last adventure with Lelliana, Allisitair, etc... to find our lost friend in an more epic adventure. Also, a nice closure or sorts to my love affair with my red headed bard.



We didn't get that. I understand that BW wants to push on to DA:2 but something grander and more fitting would have been nice.



Oh well. Still looking foward to DA2 although I hope that BW restores dual wielding to warriors. Makes no sense otherwise, no matter how much some people try to defend it.

OP: I am alright with having Hawke as the lead for DA2. I've enjoyed my Wardens but having something new in the same world seems wonderful.

[obnoxiousgas]

I'm sure the dead Wardens feel their story concluded quite nicely. Oh wait, they don't.

They're dead.

While I had no qualms with Witch Hunt, really, I think Origins was the perfect ending for the Warden. I'd have preferred the expansions and DLC to have focused on different characters irrespective of whether the Warden was living or dead.

it's been long known that we would have a new main character even before witch hunt came out

I see in your future a lot of snide remarks.



EDIT: On a serious note, I'm disappointed the rest of the Wardens don't get that same sense of "Yeah, I'm done" that you got by stepping through the mirror, but I've completely accepted Hawke is the protagonist.

Oh you're good, you're very good

[Axekix]

Personally I'm alright with moving on to a new protagonist. As a Morri-romancer WH did have a rather nice sense of finality to it, even if a lot of things were left unexplained.



I would think people who didn't (or couldn't) follow Morrigan through the mirror might have more room to complain. The DLC really didn't offer much to people who didn't romance her... but assuming we see the consequences of those decisions down the line I think it was a decent send off.

[Freezingfire]

I would have liked to go to a new protagonist, but then to someone who wasn't set in stone(imho not much replay value). I prefer my silent protagonist, especially since I can imagine a voice being there, plus the fact that voice overs make the game a whole lot shorter. Therefore I hope they won't go on with "Hawke"(which is a pretty terrible name), if hey decide to go on with the DA series.

[Ulicus]

I imagine Hawke will be confined to DA2 and its expansion/s. DA3 will probably star an entirely new, voiced protagonist. Unless Hawke is so super popular as a character that it would make no financial sense to move away from him/her.

And Hawke's not a terrible name... but I admit I'd have preferred "Halke" as a spelling.

To me, Hawke seems to be shaping up into a much more interesting protagonist than the Warden. Irrespective of the whole issue of the main character being voiced, and having a set race, I just think that Hawke's story sounds more interesting than the Warden's. I like the idea of rising to power over a decade, and playing someone so important to the future history of Thedas.

That's because 1) Bioware/EA are pulling the right strings in their marketing; 2) by now you've probably heard learned about warden to death.

I don't think that's it. Back when I played DA:O I thought that it was a well executed version of a very old story. I liked the political aspects of it, but even so, battling against an unrelenting evil has been done to death.

Hawke's story reminds me of Conan. Rising to power through the strength of my blade/magic is an epic premise for a storyline, especially when it's in a setting in which politics plays such an important part.

I agree with the above. Yes, I loved DA:O and would love to see more DLC for my Warden, including a truly epic send off. That said, something besides stopping the end of the world as we know it would be a nice break.

I just let Loghain die killing the Archdemon. Partially because he deserved to die, partly because his actions before the events of Dragon Age: Origins earned him the right to die with some honor and dignity.

I *would* have done that except that Riordan didn't mention the little detail that a warden needs to die to kill the arch demon and only hints at it when Allistair's sword is about an inch from Loghain's neck! Unfortunately, Biwoare didn't give my Warden the option to cool Allistair down and convince him to listen to Riordan and thus we could have had the best of all worlds: Allistair alive as king, my Warden still alive, no god child, AND the death of a traitor.

WIN-WIN!!!

Thanks Riordan.

A little dissapointed, but im fine with the new hero, i mean some adventures cant last forever right?

just take Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas for instance we also play as a new character

[Vandicus]

I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to go on a new series of adventures with Morrigan as the Warden. I've personally been happy about the Hawke character from the start, and felt the story of the Warden was pretty well concluded until the Witch Hunt DLC. Of course my Wardens could never resist seeing the other side of the mirror, which means they never get to do the whole normal(relatively speaking) remainder of life thing. That means he's going to continue to influence Thedas somehow, and since we don't get to play as the Warden, we don't get to make those important choices.
